Turmeric-Mango Smoothie
Gold Ataulfo mangoes are ideal in smoothies, as they’re creamy and much less fibrous than the red-green variety. Turmeric boasts a bounty of natural medicinal properties. Some studies connect turmeric with healthy properties including preventing indigestion, blood clots, and possibly even diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. This filling smoothie is a healthful way to wake up and get your day going. If you need to speed up your morning routine, make a smoothie “bag” with all the ingredients except the orange juice the night before. Then, add the smoothie bag and the orange juice to your blender, and combine until creamy.
